Where are concrete pumps used? Concrete pumps are suitable for use in a wide variety of construction applications.

• Bridges and dams: Bridges and dams must be large, strong and steady to support the weight of heavy vehicle traffic and intense water pressure. Boom pumps, in particular, offer the advantage of their lift and extension to ensure that concrete can pump quickly to the top of a tall bridge or dam.
• Parking structures: Parking garages usually consist of several levels, and it’s hard to get concrete to the upper levels without a concrete pump. Using a concrete pump allows the construction of a tall parking structure to be completed quickly and with no wasted labor.

Concrete pumps have been a dramatic advantage for the construction industry. Imagine a construction worker in the early 1900s pushing a wheelbarrow full of concrete, making trip after trip after laborious, sweaty trip, until he had finally poured the modest amount of concrete necessary for the project. This method is inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive. The concrete pump provides a much easier and faster way of moving concrete.

Concrete pumping trucks have been particularly transformative in high-rise construction. Before the invention of the concrete pump, cranes had to lift heavy buckets of concrete into the air toward higher floors. A bucket holds only a small amount of concrete, so this process was inefficient. Modern concrete pumps can pump much faster than cranes can lift buckets, and they allow for a continuous flow of concrete. They also enable the concrete to be poured directly via a placing boom rather than being transferred sloppily in a bucket.
